Fallout lore: war never changes 🙁

Helldivers lore: war never changes 😁

[samfinlay]

One thing I like about this game is that we actually witness the lore of the galactic war in real-time. Malevelon creek may become an infamous battle referenced in future games

“Fully trained” I got the equivalent of a a slide show and recorded lecture

[daviddesrosiers]

I love everything about this game. Such a breath of fresh air. I feel like this game respects my time. That's a rare thing these days.

I'm still amazed at the sheer amount of orbital based democracy that a single Helldiver can dish out. It's beautiful.

Small error at 15:00

The average loyalty rating among Helldivers is 97.4%. That doesn't mean that 97.4% are loyal, it means that their loyalty is rated and the average loyalty is over 97%.

It's an important distinction because there are no disloyal Helldivers to washout, like you imply. Given the general statistics of the Helldivers (and their high attrition rate) it's likely loyalty is the only factor really considered since they're not actually an elite fighting force. Just the ones willing to die for Super Earth.

Minor note here: The illuminates weren't completely destroyed. In your ship in Helldivers 2, one of the npc's tells of how they were completely pushed out of the galaxy.

Considering the fact that the Automatons are trying to reach Cyberstan, it'd be interesting to see the newly freed Cyborgs fighting alongside them after they retake their capital. Also I saw some people say that the Automatons are the "children" of the Cyborgs.

The first game has an entire Encyclopedia for every enemy you fight that gives some insight on the Cyborg and Illuminate societies (and the descriptions are also on the wiki), as well as weapon and stratagem descriptions in the upgrade screen that also provides some lore (such as the m2016 being given to every citizen on their 16th birthday to encourage military service), if you were looking for more facets of the lore to cover.

Helldivers: When you realize that you're the villains of the story, but you're too high on managed democracy.

Now THIS is a SUPER lore video !
Would you like to know more ?

[SuperJibulus]

I’ve seen in game that it is unknown what the origin of the automatons is. Additionally, one of the crew talk about the Cyborgs and how they were put into labour camps stating that this would be a good place to put the Automatons. I didn’t know about the star symbol of the Cyborgs as I didn’t play helldivers 1, but I’ve seen it on Automaton missions. Automatons have also been known to attempt to engage in talks with humans to inform them of their brainwashing by Super Earth.

I’m convinced the Automatons are creations by the last remaining remnant of the Cyborgs.

The use of “the great dictator” is such an ironic quote.

As always, great video! For democracy!!

I get the sense that there may be more than 3 factions in this game. I believe we may see the introduction of at least one new faction to the universe.

[IAmNumber]

As an American, this game’s political satire hits close to home 😂

2024 election definitely feeling like “managed democracy”

[Arkangelxx]

Thanks for the history lesson before my deployment; I can't wait to dive in and spread democracy while defending Super Earth and our Super Citizens

I'm surprised you didn't cover the Helldivers employment contract you can read at the end of basic training just before you get your cape.
It has some... interesting terms.
For example in the event of a Helldiver's death their family will receive a certain grade of citizenship as compensation.

[mostlyjovial]

I am one of many who aided in the subjugation- eh, I mean application of managed democracy, of the initial cyborgs.
Still got the cape from beating a helldive against each faction. Shame they didn’t carry over. lol maybe three new models for capes was too much. Or maybe there’s some more for beating a helldive in 2, haven’t made it there yet.

As much as I enjoyed the isometric top down fun of the original, I’ll miss genuinely accidentally capping all 3 teammates with a single round, but the change to 3rd person was so well executed that it made it feel even better.

Can’t wait to get done like Kat during Reach when the Illuminate returns. So excited for Helldivers future
